Starting in 2014, IBC will introduce a new pharmacy network called the
FutureScripts Preferred Pharmacy Network. This network is a smaller version of
our full FutureScripts pharmacy network. The FutureScripts Preferred Pharmacy
Network allows us to offer members a lower premium.
With this preferred network, members will continue to have access to more than
50,000 pharmacies, such as CVS, Wal-Mart, and Target, in addition to
independent pharmacies. The FutureScripts Preferred Pharmacy Network
specifically excludes Walgreens and Rite Aid.
The FutureScripts Preferred Pharmacy Network is offered with the following base
plans:
Keystone HMO Bronze
Keystone HMO Gold Proactive
Keystone HMO Silver Proactive
Personal Choice Catastrophic
Personal Choice PPO Bronze
Personal Choice PPO Bronze Reserve
Pharmacies that are not part of the FutureScripts Preferred Pharmacy Network
(i.e., Walgreens and Rite Aid) are considered non-participating or
out-of-network for members who are covered under these products. If a member
elects to get a prescription filled at Walgreens or Rite Aid, it will be
considered an out-of-network claim and the member will be responsible for the
total cost of their prescription drug(s) at the time of purchase. Some members
can submit a paper claim for partial reimbursement.
If you have any questions about this new pharmacy network, please call Customer
Service at
1-800-ASK-BLUE.

its subsidiaries Keystone Health Plan East and QCC Insurance Company, and with
